Three goodbyes and ten unexpectedly nice minutes
Deb and a colleague say goodbye and keep walking in the same direction. She slows down, he slows down, and another farewell only makes it stranger. Discovering they need the same bus gives their conversation another chance.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
Rosie asks whether the colleague said he wanted to be alone or whether Deb had decided that for him. A small joke reopens their conversation, and the journey home becomes part of the evening Deb enjoys.

The script for this illustrated story. Open it if you prefer to read along.
Deb: I said goodbye. Then we walked the same way.
Rosie: How many goodbyes did you spend?
Deb: Three. One by the office, one outside the chemist, and a tiny emergency one when we reached the crossing.
Rosie: Did one of you live inside the crossing?
Deb: No. We both just kept walking. Side by side, pretending we were suddenly fascinated by different sides of the road.
Rosie: Was this someone you didn't like?
Deb: I like him. We talk at work. The first goodbye had been perfectly good. I couldn't face opening the conversation again.
Rosie: What had closed? His ears, or your script?
Deb: My script. I slowed down to let him get ahead. He slowed down too. We were doing a very polite three-legged race.
Rosie: Without the string.
Deb: Exactly. I thought, he probably wants to go home in peace. I'm imposing, walking on this public pavement.
Rosie: Did he say he wanted to be alone?
Deb: No. He asked which bus I was getting. Same one. At that point I considered moving house.
Rosie: Quite a commitment to a goodbye.
Deb: I said, 'I've run out of goodbye gestures.' He said, 'Good. We can wait for the bus, then.'
Rosie: And was the waiting unbearable?
Deb: No. We laughed. He told me his lunch had leaked into an expenses form. I told him about choir.
Rosie: Better than the timetable?
Deb: Much. Just ten ordinary minutes. I spend so much time rushing home that I'd forgotten the getting-home bit could be nice.
Rosie: How did you part in the end?
Deb: He got off two stops before me. One wave. No speech. I stayed on the bus. Finally, a proper exit.
